The meeting comes a day after the BJP pulled out from its alliance with the PDP, which led to Mehbooba Mufti resigning as the chief minister.

Security forces are likely to step up anti-terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir, a top cop said

Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir: A commander-level meeting between India and Pakistan took place in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Wednesday. The two countries discussed instances of ceasefire violations and cross-border firing along the Line of Control (LOC).

The Home Ministry had earlier announced that the security personnel would halt operations against terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir during the holy month of Ramzan. Kashmir responded well to the Centre's decision to have the ceasefire as peace prevailed.

But the announcement of non-initiation of combat operations (NICO) did not stop cross-border firing and ceasefire violations along the LOC and sporadic incidents of terrorists striking security forces continued.
